Spread out on a foil lined sheet pan, with the meat piled up in the center, surrounded by a single layer of the veggies.

Bake at 400F until veggies are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

You could at this point, top it with cheese for sandwiches, or have a sandwich without cheese. The really healthy way is to eat this atop brown rice or other healthy grain. It also works well atop a salad.

Florida is an interesting place to live during hurricane season. Anytime one heads our way, folks clear the shelves in the local stores of water, canned goods, bread, etc. The threat of at the very least losing power makes the thought of what’s in the fridge and freezer going bad! I feel so fortunate that we dodged the bullet this time. When I see reports of the devastation, I know just how lucky we are that it skirted by us.

My daughter and son in law made a huge batch of taco meat and rice in case they had guests (since their house is inland and has hurricane shutters). I was blessed with the leftovers, and we had a fantastic dinner thanks to them.

4 cups leftover taco meat

4 cups leftover cooked rice

1 jar salsa

1 can of black beans

1 package (20) fajita style flour tortillas

Shredded Cheese

Tomatoes

Shredded Lettuce

Diced Onion

I added salsa to the taco meat and heated it up.

I added black beans to the rice and heated it up.

Meanwhile, I put the tortillas on a large baking sheet in a 200F oven to heat.

Toppings included cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and onion. We were missing sour cream and avocado, but the tacos were so yummy, we didn’t miss them.

The kids all voted for tacos more often!

We had a crowd over for Tuesday Night Girls’ Wine Club! I didn’t want to stand over the stove to cook the burgers or corn, so I wrapped the corn in foil with butter and salt, and placed the burgers on a baking sheet. 350 F for 30 minutes and both were perfect! So so easy and I will cook burgers that way the next time I’m feeding a crowd!

First I put some rice in the rice cooker, to make to go farther. I chopped a small sweet onion.

Brown the meat and onions chopping up finely. Add sauce and simmer until rice is done cooking.

Meanwhile, heat the tortillas on a baking sheet 3-5 minutes at 300 F.

Add cooked rice to the meat mixture.

I laid it out like a taco bar. So yummy. The tortillas were the best I’ve had. It tasted like someone just made them. The sauce is amazing. Everyone loved the roasted corn and black bean salad (which is a little on the sweet/pickled side).
